Can i map my runs with this band? like individual runs?

This band does not have GPS. It's simply a pedometer with the ability to add on heart rate monitoring. I don't know if Garmin's web-based program, Garmin Connect, will sync with other apps/sites like mapmyrun.com, etc., but the Vivofit band itself will not do it.

Hello Melissa,Unfortunately what are you looking for is not available on Vivofit. It will not show you the route of your runs. However, you will find this feature in the Garmin Forerunner series ( Forerunner 620, 610, 220, etc.)Regards

I am not 100% sure because I had vivofit less than 24 hours. I was going to use it for cross training workout but had a bit hard time to create event. Unlike other tracker that is a lot easier. sorry could not help you much here.

No mapping because there is no GPS. But it will automatically track the heart beat (with the heart monitor) or number of steps and group them (roughly) into an activity session that can labeled online. But no course will be mapped, and the tracker is slow to recognize that an activity has ended (adding about 10% more time by the time it recognizes that pace is back to normal). Sometimes I wear the Garmin 310x with the Vivofit to see the variation between a GPS watch and a stepper watch. The GPS watch is of course much more accurate (and expensive).

Not that I have been able to figure out. I still have been using MapMyRun to track that information.

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

Yes, there is an option to run in a random shuffle mode. I use it exclusively since I use this while running.

They have a list of frequencies being used by each driver available at the track - you have to type them into he radio per user instructions- I use pre-sets that match the car number - gotta update them manually between nationwide and sprint car races. Takes only minutes when you get the sequence down.

Not sure about MapMyRide.com because I haven't used it extensively, but you can download routes from the Garminconnect site, which seems pretty similar.

Yes. You have a choice of running all the zones at one time or you can choose to run just one zone.

Yes you can race them together, each run on their own frequency.You can run more than 20 grave digger and/or son-UVA digger without any conflicts

Yes, it can do both. They are actually back-to-back options as you toggle through the possible views during a run. I would offer that I've used Garmins in the past and the their pace seems more accurate, and quicker to adjust, while on the run itself - an important quality if pace is your go-to metric while on the run. It will all even out once you upload the run to your running site of choice but that's of little consolation while running. Don't get me wrong - this is a small complaint and I like the watch so far.

Absolutely not. This only tracks your mileage that your run. I has no map etc.

There is no reason why you could not. You can turn off the GPS and run as stand alone heart rate monitor. The tread mill should give your distance/pace, ect and you would than manually enter that info in to your Runtastic activity profile with the "manual edit" feature online once you had synced the watch and uploaded that specific activity.

If you have fixed routes, you can just buy a cheap HR monitor and skip the GPS by using a free online mapping tool. Here's an example of a 5.7 miler in my neighborhood: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=510000 There are slicker free tools than that site, but they all use the same underlying technology.Still, GPS is nice if you want to just "run till you're done," especially if you're in open spaces without landmarks and with a clear view of the sky for satellite acquisition. And importing the run data into your PC is sweet, too (though it doesn't work with a Mac).

yes you can our friend has downloaded many maps and they really trace your movement great this is a great garmin

Yes, absolutely. It then uses the Runtastic Ap to log them. I have since moved to a Garmin, but still use Runtastic to log runs because I like the way it displays splits. This is a very good inexpensive entry level running watch. I was very happy with mine.

To update your data to an application like MapMyRun, you must first download the application, then PAIR the Sync Elite it with the device that you will be syncing to (computer, iPad, iPhone etc). Once you have successfully paired your devices you must (1) change the Mode on the SyncElite tracker to the Sync screen and (2) plug it into the headphone jack of your iPad etc, (3) select Workouts in the (MapMyRun) application, and Press the Update Sync Activity Tracker button. You should make sure your volume is at maximum or it may not work.

Yes but I do not use it. I have set it up once to try out. All you have to do is hit the top of your watch to clock an interval. I think this makes it a great IT for short runs but longer distances mean more chance of hitting the IT as you run. Hope this helps, Andrew

Another alternative to display your ForeRunner workouts data and to have a journal is TrailRunner. http://www.trailrunnerx.com

You have to upload the data from your watch to a web site run by Papago (this requires creating an account on that site), but you then can download the data as a GPX file from that web site on your computer and upload it to mapmyrun or maymyfitness. I've done this and it works well, when the watch and software are working properly, which is not often (see my separate review).
